Indicator Display Problem

[heyligerb]

Hi, I've created this code in the strategy wizard, applied it to an indicator. However, the indicator does not work when I apply it, but I know the code is good b/c it works as a strategy. Any help is much appreciated...

Here is the code:

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = false;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.

// Condition set 1
if (Open[1] > Close[1]
&& Open[2] > Close[2]
&& Open[3] > Close[3])
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Lime);
}

}

#region Properties

Hello,

In indicators you need to do a CurrentBar check. This link will help:

You need to add if(CurrentBar < 3) return; after OnBarUpdate().

Still can't get it to work. It's strange, b/c it works on my TICK chart, but it dosen't work on a chart of the S&P contaract...Here's the updated code: /// /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick) /// protected override void OnBarUpdate() { // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula. // Condition set 1 if (CurrentBar < 3) return; if (Open[1] > Close[1] && Open[2] > Close[2] && Open[3] > Close[3]) { DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Lime); } }

Hello,


Try using this code, which I tested and works if you paste it within the OnBarUpdate() block:

if(CurrentBar < 3) return;

if (Open[1] > Close[1]
&& Open[2] > Close[2]
&& Open[3] > Close[3])
{
DrawArrowUp("tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Red);
}
